Neulasta has been kicking my ass all week. It is a $7,000.00 shot that I was given to get my blood counts back up after chemo. The major side effect is bone pain. Since it kicks your bone marrow into overdrive, like you have a serious infection. For the first few days only my collar bones hurt. Then Saturday I had a back spasm and I started getting bone pain through my entire chest. Every time my back would throb, my chest wall would contract sympathetically. So I had that crap all day Saturday and Sunday. So far this morning I have not had to take any muscle relaxers or pain meds.

There is a large wildfire near the school where my brother works. The same fire is threatening the Texas Renaissance Festival.

I am officially pissed that East Texas received no measurable rain from TS Lee.

I am pretty nervous about the fire danger now. There was a small wildfire in my neighborhood just last week. Luckily the Volunteer Fire Department knocked it out pretty fast, only lost a few acres and no homes.

I think that we were about as far west as it got, Angelina county. We only got .69 inches of rain from it. Freaking Alexandria, LA, where I used to live, got about 5 inches... Toledo Bend area where we have a lake trailer got less than 2 inches. Really, really needed more, and less stupid people that went "Hey it's cooler and we got some rain. Let's burn stuff!" Idiots.

Hi guys.

I'm back.

Well, halfways at least. The surgery was on Monday, and it turned out my problem's bigger than they suspected. Literally. Half my bladder is apparently covered in tumors, and the doctor was amazed when I told him I had not had any trouble urinating. Anyway, they took some biopsies and the results should be available Monday, Tuesday the latest. Here's hoping for the best...

I spent Monday evening and the whole of Tuesday in unbelievable agony. I had always prided myself with higher-than-usual tolerance for pain, (spoilered due to graphic description of a rather painful medical process)
but having a catether(sp?) up your cock soon fixed me of that notion. They basically inserted a line into my bladder through my John Thomas, one side pushing in saline solution to clear the bladder, the other bleeding out a mixture of urine, blood and the saline solution. Even the painkillers didn't help much.
. Anyway. I was released Wednesday and things were starting to clear up - but then my fever spiked. Apparently the surgery had caused me an infection, and after attempting to weather it with antibiotics at home they took me in last night. This time they'll keep me in until my results show that the infection is dying down.

Luckily I managed to enlist some help, and I'm prepared for a few nights more. A good book, some writing and drawing paper - and my laptop ;) I probably won't be as active as usual for a little while, but I'm on the mend. Let's just hope that the biopsy results come up with something favourable. Treatable is apparently a given.

Thanks for all the well-wishes, and see you around again.

Jesus, man. If it was me I'd be a pansy and have this in the Rant thread. Hope the biopsy comes back negative for cancer and good luck getting them removed.

I've had that thought too. I try to justify it and I think I get away with it but sometimes I think I might just be shallow.

Watching that interview from forever ago that Kevin Smith did with Stan Lee. I can't stop giggling when ever Smith brings up the 'upcoming' Hulk or Fantastic Four movies and Stan Lee is like "Oh yes! X-Men was great these movies will be great as well! You really can't mess up a comic movie!"

I just have to shake my head.
